Your go-live checklist
The final pass before you launch — test an order end to end, confirm emails and stock, and tidy SEO and appearance.
Before you point customers at your store, run one end-to-end pass. The goal is for launch day to be boring — everything you'd worry about, you've already checked.
Place a real test order
Buy something on the storefront
Add a product to the cart and complete checkout with a real payment method (use your processor's test mode if available).
Confirm the order appears
Open Sales & Reports → Orders and check the order is there with the right total, status, and items.
Check emails fired
Confirm the order confirmation email arrived. Configure where notifications go under Global Configuration → Notifications.
Check stock moved
Open the product and confirm available stock dropped by the quantity ordered.
Polish before launch
- SEO — set default titles and descriptions under Global Configuration → SEO & Metadata.
- Appearance — set your theme and brand colors under Global Configuration → Appearance.
- Operational flow — pick how orders are processed under Commerce Management → Order Fulfillment.
- Inventory rules — tune stock visibility and reservations under Commerce Management → Inventory & Stock.
